Not only is the sound reproduction excellent, I also am a big fan of the direct/reflective aspect of the speakers.

Superb sound reproduction with vintage stereo equipment

These Bose 301-V bookshelf speakers are great, excellent sound reproduction

So I got a Onkyo P304 with a Onkyo M504 discrete construction faithful reproduction of sound

I would not hesitate buying a second set for the rear channel speakers, they give faithful sound reproduction at low volume all the way up to wake up the neighbors level!

I highly recommend the Bose 301 Series V Loudspeakers to any and all who're looking for high quality sound at an affordable price.

The price competitive speakers from the companies above are far more nimble with the ability to start and stop quickly

Thank you, Bose, for the quality product, and Thank YOU Amazon for the delightful price break and service on the acquisition!

I never thought I would own a pair of Bose speakers because they were too expensive but these were the perfect price

Sure, there are better speaker out there, but these are great sounding speakers characterized by their clarity and voicing at a reasonable price point

And the sound is what you would expect from Bose - crisp, clear mid-ranges with a deep throaty bass that enhances any HD surround film!

No, they don't have a tremendous output, My receiver puts out 125 watts RMS in two channel mode, and these guys retain composure but don't really have the dynamic range of many speakers

They completed my surround system, to have quality speakers behind you as well as in front of you makes the system whole.

In my small living room, my huge 3-way KLH speakers were just firing sound into the carpet and furniture, as well as taking up floor space

Most PC speakers (internal) are worthless in delivering good, accurate sound ranging from lows to high frquencies at no more than 2 db difference

Bose has done a fine job of creating a product that does not "color", "dress up" or alter the sound of a recording

Just two of them do a good job of filling a room with sound

To start with I have a number of Bose products and I think they do a good job with their products.

Personally I think Bose does a really good job in sound research and

But I would say when the speakers are placed in smaller rooms, the 201 speaker will do a good job as well

Bose products provide a warm intimate listening experience

In either the capacity of front or rear/surround speakers, the model 301 works beautifully to enhance the listening experience whether as a home theater system for DVD's or just straight out stereo or CD playback.

Although these speakers have now been replaced with the Bose Acoustimass 10 Series III Home Theater Speaker System on my primary system, they are now featured as the primary speakers in a second system and are providing crisp and clear high quality sound, made that much better by the direct/reflecting feature which serves beautifully in enhancing the listening experience

I have been using these speakers for the last 9 yrs with my home theater system and watching any action movie is an incredible experience

Love the direct reflecting sound technology, as well as the end listening experience

They completed my surround system, to have quality speakers behind you as well as in front of you makes the system whole.

I believe for the price they are great value, small and look great

In my small living room, my huge 3-way KLH speakers were just firing sound into the carpet and furniture, as well as taking up floor space

Compared to bookshelf speakers in the similar price range, I find that these speakers give excellent value for money

These speakers are an incredible price performance value!!!

Sure, there are better speaker out there, but these are great sounding speakers characterized by their clarity and voicing at a reasonable price point

But apart from that the cabinet as the whole seems to be built a bit cheaply. this might be the only reason for me to knock a point off the product

I get the point that the Bose sound is, to a degree, "manufactured," like most California wines, but for ordinary human beings going about their lives this is a good product.

The focal point of their sound reproduction definitely favors the mid range of the sound spectrum

and this seemed to be the best point for my room and pairing of the Polk PSW505 subwoofer

I listen to soft music (jazz, typically, or ambient) in the morning and these speakers deliver all the nuances at very low volume; I listen to hard rock at high volume on other occasions, and the 301's don't scare away or distort at all: these things would tear the house apart before they'd lose sound quality

If you want a good quality, great sounding speaker, look no further than Bose.

One other common knock on these is that the quality of construction and components is inferior to the competition

I tested a number of speakers at a local store, and although I had concerns about the unnatural quality of the sound of the Bose 301s, I bought them because they were the only speakers of the right size and within my price range to offer 8 inch woofers

These speakers fill the room with great quality accurate sound!

There are a lot of people that either love or hate Bose

The quality of soundThe price of the productThe great bose name is behind it

Admittedly, the Bose can make the room shake with a moderately powerful receiver

However, if you like the refined, room filing and pleasant sound, the Bose 301 should definitely be considered

Recently, I picked up a portable Bose speaker for my mp3 and loved the sound quality.

I am not an audiophile, the best way I can say it is they sound muffled and flat

In my small living room, my huge 3-way KLH speakers were just firing sound into the carpet and furniture, as well as taking up floor space

A better way to say this is that these speakers "color" the sound nicely in my opinion, but others might not like this coloration

They defiantly slightly favor certain frequencies, not in a bad way, but you won't get the so called perfect reproduction that some people look for in a speaker

They completed my surround system, to have quality speakers behind you as well as in front of you makes the system whole.

If you appreciate music and hearing it with speakers with great range and balance, these speakers are for you

IF Bose continues to make products with the same attention to detail and quality craftsmanship that went into these 6.2s, and IF you love your music to sound alive--to reach inside you to stir your soul, my experience suggests that Bose owners are speaking the literal truth when they praise their speakers for having these qualities

Music will never become fatiguing but you traded realism for that tonality

Bose produces very faithul music reproduction, so if you have low quality mp3 files and a bad amp, these speakers will not improve your music.

Movies sound great and music is precise and "all encompassing" in stereo mode.

Bass is adequate, but to get the best sound a subwoofer must be added

The Polk had more bass, but lacked the subtle tones that I love so much.

If the bass is recorded just right, it will sound good coming through the 301s

The combination of bad imaging, unrealistic tonality and loose bass make them a poor choice for home theater

Okay, so they handle a good sound stage, they do some pretty fair bass and they do have highs good enough and not out of character.
